The Duke of Edinburgh was a keen supporter and participant in a huge variety of sports but people connected with one famous cricket ground have been recalling his visits. He was very, very keen on cricket, said Peter Wynne-Thomas, cricket historian and archivist at Trent Bridge, home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. I think I m correct in saying he s the only member of the Royal family at present who is really interested, although Prince Charles played a little bit when he was a lad.
